Chapter 22: A Great Time to Win Easily
It took two days for the army to march before they got the news from the reconnaissance troops.
It turned out that because of the addition of the undead legion, the Dark Council had to summon the demons hidden behind them.
As a result, the war became more intense, and the two sides engaged in more tragic offensive and defensive battles.
Because of the tight front, the rear of the Dark Council had to draw troops from the rear, and even gave up a lot of occupied towns and mine resources for this purpose.
This was from a mine that they had abandoned, and although there were a lot of cavemen and slaves left behind to mine, only two Dark Elf sentries were left to guard it.
As for the undead army that haunted before, it is said that it has been captured, and all the undead troops have been wiped out.
"Wiped out?" It still feels strange to hear that there is a "self" that has been eliminated.
But if you think about it carefully, it should be another undead army, which happens to strike after Edward, and at this time, the side of the Dark Council is tense, and it will inevitably mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress it.
Moreover, although the other undead legion officers were ranked higher than Edward, they did not have the help of the minotaurs like Edward, so they lacked high-end strength.
Even if these top-ranked undead officers are elite and able to fight against high-level professionals with mid-level classes, if there is a shadow assassin stationed like Molière, then they will definitely be defeated.
Edward didn't care about his teammates hanging up.
On the contrary, he created a good opportunity for Edward.
Now that the mines are sparsely populated, and because they have just dealt with a troop of undead troops, they must have let their guard down. Although it is not as unprepared as it was at the beginning, there will certainly be no such thing as ambushes and encirclement.
After three days (plus the return march), this is when the attack is most successful and least dangerous.
With this in mind, Edward immediately called in the lizard knight leader Turan, who was familiar with the situation here and happened to be a leading party.
Turan and some of the other dungeon captives always hooked up with Gardex on this march, apparently trying to get rid of Edward.
After all, Edward belongs to the side of the undead, and Gardex is not only a fellow of the same race, but more importantly, he looks stunned and better foolish, so these dungeon captives don't look for him to find anyone.
However, although Gardex is tempted, his brain is not really stupid, this is his brother-in-law's army, and it is very taboo to seize military power in the underground world.
Besides, Edward is not an ordinary person, and although he seems to have always been kind, he does not like to get angry.
But what is under him, it is a terrifying undead, Edward himself is also a necromancer, and Gardex is actually a little afraid of necromancers in his heart, after all, those undead servants made of dungeon creatures will add a lot of shadows to his heart every time he sees them.
Edward didn't care about this, after all, although these dungeon captives were good combat effectiveness, Edward couldn't take them away, even the undead under his command had to be left behind in the end, and it was useless to care too much.
On the contrary, a lot of gold and gems are more realistic, and dungeons and undead are okay to explore, and it is not a good idea to live or live here.
It's better to buy a manor in the overworld and be a real young master or something.
In addition, bring the dark elf maid with you, as for the vampire lady, she looks good, but it's too troublesome, don't bring it, it's a big deal to find another one when the time comes.
Anyway, there should be a lot of beautiful women in the dark elves, why haven't you met this kind of captive until now?
I don't know why, Edward thought of a face that couldn't be shaken off, and that was the dragon lady's beautiful cutie Sivana.
I don't know what happened to the dragon girl's cuties? Remember that the Red Dragons used to help the sorcerers fight the Dark Council.
Now that the Sorcerer Alliance has been defeated, Shivana's cuties won't be captured by the Dark Council.
Thinking of this, Edward immediately approached Alista and asked.
"I don't know very well, it seems that later the high-level of the Dark Council talked to several of the great lords of the Sorcerer Alliance, and later the Sorcerer Alliance was merged into the Dark Council. The Red Dragons seem to have joined the Dark Council as well. In fact, there are many minotaurs who have also joined the Dark Council, but our magnificent barrier has not joined them, and the Dark Council is nothing more than a bunch of crazy people who want to unify the world. Alista said angrily.
"Shivana, I hope you are safe." Edward prayed sincerely.
While they were thinking, the troops had already arrived at a ruby mine.
This mine is not large, according to intelligence, there are not many defenders, there is not even a dark mage in it, the most powerful is an intermediate dark warrior.
"Attack!" As soon as Edward finished speaking, a white flag was waved on the opposite side.
“…… Send a few people to see if there is any fraud. "Edward is really speechless, this is too undisciplined, you surrendered before I hit that.
The rubies produced here are not of high quality and cannot be sold for a high price in the ground, but they are valuable in the surface world.
Instead of a minotaur among the slaves in the mines, they found a fourth-level sorcerer who resembled a beggar.
I heard that he offended a big man in the Dark Council, so this sorcerer was assigned to the mines.
Of course, this fourth-level sorcerer, like the previous minotaur, was dizzy from hunger.
In addition, he was also taken away from the magic book, and he couldn't cast spells without a magic book in this world.
It just so happened that he had killed a lot of dark mages before and gave him a copy to use, and this guy also knew the times and joined Edward's men.
Because this mine was surrendered entirely, and the mine was not too important in the first place, the Dark Council should have no idea about what was going on here, and the next attack should be sudden, so Edward decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue it.
So Edward led the War Omen Force to capture six of these mines in a row, and met no resistance at all. Except for those who saw Edward's army surrender directly like the Ruby Mines, the others only surrendered after Edward's attack.
In particular, the more Edward fights, the more troops he collects, especially the revenge team composed of many elite slaves who hate the Dark Council from among the slaves, and also collects nine mid-level professionals.
Among them are the Dark Orcs, the Harpies, the Dark Humans, and the rare Medusa.
And what's interesting is that the strength of these relegated slaves doesn't know if they have been honed and have reached the strength of the elite or the current peak.
Especially that Medusa, as a strong fighting race comparable to the Minotaur, although she is still very weak because she does not have the strong resilience of the Minotaur.
But Medusa, who is waiting for leisure, is basically more powerful than the Minotaur in a heads-up fight, after all, Medusa can use such a powerful natural ability as the Petrified Eye.
"Although the Dark Council hasn't reacted yet, it's probably coming soon. So now we have to choose a more valuable goal to do, and I believe everyone wants to do the activity too. Edward said with a smile.
Because of the series of victories, although a little boring, but still boosted the morale of his subordinates.
Of course, the undead officers also very much agreed with this proposal, after all, there are no corpses without war, and there can be no new undead soldiers without corpses, and the undead are eager to try war.
